Now, if you can, imagine a waterfall four times as wide and almost twice as tall that caused Eleanor Roosevelt to exclaim Poor Niagara! upon seeing it for the first time. Welcome to las cataratas del Iguazú! Iguazú is located in Iguazú National Park, an area of subtropical jungle where Argentina meets Brazil. Its name comes from the indigenous Guaraní word for "great water." A UNESCO World Heritage Site, las cataratas del Iguazú span three kilometers and are comprised of 275 cascades split into two main sections by the San Martín Island. Most of the falls are about 82 meters (270 feet) high. The horseshoe-shaped cataract Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat) has the greatest water flow and is considered to be the most impressive; it also marks the border between Argentina and Brazil. Each country offers different views and tourist options.

No matter which way you choose to enjoy the falls, you are certain to be captivated.

Its peninsular shape gives it two very different seascapes. La Playa Mansa, facing the bay and therefore the more protected side, has calm waters. Here, people practice water sports like swimming, water skiing, windsurfi ng, and diving. La Playa Brava, facing the east, receives the Atlantic Ocean s powerful, wave-producing winds, making it popular for surfi ng, body boarding, and kite surfi ng. Besides the beaches, posh shopping, and world-famous nightlife, Punta offers its 600,000 yearly visitors yacht and fi shing clubs, golf courses, and excursions to observe sea lions at the Isla de Lobos nature reserve.
